Dear friends and colleagues,

It is a privilege for the entire local committee to welcome you to our annual meeting for the second time in Bilbao since the birth of our society in 1954.

Bilbao awaits you with open arms. A city reinvented in itself, restructured from the industrial city of the 70's and 80's to the current Bilbao, focused on tourism and providing a friendly and welcoming service to its visitors.

We have prepared a scientific program with the comprehensive treatment of the adult patient in mind. Orthodontics is an essential part of interdisciplinary treatment, and for this reason the scientific committee has decided to include some of the best national and international speakers in this field. But without forgetting the new generations, and the emerging young SEDO, which is the seed of what our society will be in the future.

For all these reasons, we are going to combine experience and youth among our speakers in order to present you with the most complete scientific program possible.

Technology will also be key in our congress. The commercial houses have supported us from the very beginning, and will present us with a great number of novelties related to the digital boom in which we are immersed in recent years.

But not everything is science, and that's why we have prepared a social program for you to enjoy the social Bilbao, its streets, its people, its gastronomy. ....

We invite you to enjoy our city and your congress!

A big hug.

Iñigo Gómez Bollain

President 69th SEDO Congress
